Southridge Golf Course

Venue Overview

SouthRidge Golf Course is a public, 18-hole golf course operated by the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, set on 128 acres in the southeast part of the city. Designed by golf architect Frank Hummel, SouthRidge rolls across gentle hills with tee boxes at diverse elevations, delivering both a genuine challenge and breathtaking views of Horsetooth and the Front Range foothills to the west. With Fossil Creek and Mail Creek winding through the layout, a full practice facility, and the well-loved MacKenzie's Pub & Grill in the clubhouse, SouthRidge is a scenic, welcoming, and great-value home for players of all levels, and for tournaments, outings, and group play.

About the Course

SouthRidge is an 18-hole, par-71 regulation course designed by Frank Hummel and opened in 1984. Spread across 128 acres of gently rolling terrain in southeast Fort Collins, it plays to roughly 6,690 yards with multiple tee boxes, and its sculptured fairways, water, and elevation changes give it a mountain-course feel while remaining fair for every level. As a City of Fort Collins municipal course, it is open to the public.

The Playing Experience

SouthRidge plays with more character than many city courses, thanks to its gentle rolling hills and tee boxes set at varied elevations that lend it the feel of a Colorado mountain-town layout. Sculptured fairways are guarded by sand and water, with Fossil Creek and Mail Creek meandering through to keep approaches honest, while the well-manicured greens reward a steady putting stroke. It is generally regarded as a touch more forgiving off the tee than its sister course, Collindale, which makes it a favorite for a wide range of players, yet it still offers plenty of challenge from the back tees. Best of all are the views: from many tees the Rocky Mountain foothills and Horsetooth spread out to the west, making for a genuinely scenic round.
